When I add the "float: left;" declaration to the ".profile-photo" class in the about page, the header comes down a bit

Hi, index.html and contact.html are showing properly. However, when I write this: 

  .profile-photo {
    float: left;

  }

in my responsive.css, the header of the page leaves a white band on top of it rather than filling the whole space up to the top of the browser. If I remove the float: left; declaration, I fix the issue but I no longer have the image floating on the left obviously. I am having troubles hunting this little bug I have. css rules are linked on the about.page in the order suggested in the video and this happens only when the width of the browser is over 480px, so I guess the error must be somewhere below the @media screen and (min-width:480px) part of the css code. Any help?

Have you checked your margin value? What are your display values?

Can you provide your full block of code

Thanks for the feedback. I found the problem in an unexpected piece of code :)

Thanks David for the answer, after continuing with the review of the code thanks to the wc3 code reviewer I found out I missed a ":" in the declaration of the margin for the h3 tag, which is in the main.css file. How the error propagated that far to about.html only when the viewport size was more than 480px is still a mystery to me. But I am happy I found the problem and solved it.

Thanks again :D

I had this same issue and resolved it in the same way that Fabio Esposito did. I was missing a ":" in the declaration of my h3 selector. h3 is only used in the About page, while the other two pages use only h1 and h2, which is probably why this issue only appeared on the About page.
